I'm wondering, if there is any syntax to replace such a link in database:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="link">text</a><!-- m -->
into something like:
[url=link]text[/url]
I know, I can make dump and relpace it in notepad++, but it would be better to make in in mysql for me.
Using INSTR and SUBSTR you can exclude Url and Title. For instance, create test data:
CREATE TABLE TableName (url varchar(255));
INSERT INTO TableName VALUES
('<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="link">A</a><!-- m -->');
Query link between 'href="' and '">':
select
substr(url, instr(url, 'href="')+6, instr(url, '">')-instr(url, 'href="')-6) link
from TableName;
+------+
| link |
+------+
| link |
+------+
Query title between '">' and '</a>':
select
substr(url, instr(url, '">')+2, instr(url, '</a>')-instr(url, '">')-2) title
from TableName;
+-------+
| title |
+-------+
| A |
+-------+
Update all required rows:
UPDATE TableName
SET url = concat('[url=', substr(...), ']', substr(...), '[/url]' )
WHERE url like '%<a href=%';

Consider the following table.
myTable
+----+-----------+------------------------------------+
| Id | responseA | responseB |
+----+-----------+------------------------------------+
| 1 | | {"foo":"bar","lvl2":{"key":"val"}} |
+----+-----------+------------------------------------+
where:
Id, INT (11) PRIMARY
responseA, TEXT utf8_unicode_ci
responseB, TEXT utf8_unicode_ci
Let's say that I want to conditionally update the table with some outside data. The conditions are:
• if there's nothing in responseA, populate it with the outside data, otherwise
• if there is something in responseA, leave it as it is, and populate responseB with the outside data
I was pretty much convinced that I could just do this to get what I want:
UPDATE myTable
SET
responseA = IF(TRIM(responseA) = '','foo',TRIM(responseA)),
responseB = IF(TRIM(responseA) != '','foo',TRIM(responseB))
WHERE Id = 1
However, this updates both responseA and responseB to the same value - foo, making the table:
myTable
+----+-----------+-----------+
| Id | responseA | responseB |
+----+-----------+-----------+
| 1 | foo | foo |
+----+-----------+-----------+
I was expecting my table to look like this after the update:
myTable
+----+-----------+------------------------------------+
| Id | responseA | responseB |
+----+-----------+------------------------------------+
| 1 | foo | {"foo":"bar","lvl2":{"key":"val"}} |
+----+-----------+------------------------------------+
What am I misunderstanding, and how can I achieve this conditional update? Do the updates happen sequentially? If so, I guess that would explain why both of the fields are updated.
UPDATE TABLE
SET responseA = CASE WHEN responseA IS NULL
THEN #data
ELSE responseA
END,
responseB = CASE WHEN responseA IS NULL
THEN responseB
ELSE #data
END
;
here your changed query
UPDATE myTable
SET
responseB = IF(TRIM(responseA) != '','foo',TRIM(responseB)),
responseA = IF(TRIM(responseA) = '','foo',TRIM(responseA))
WHERE Id = 1
It seems the value of responseA is changed before the IF() for responseB is evaluated.
One possible solution is to do a simple UPDATE:
UPDATE mytable SET responseA = ? WHERE id = 1
Then adjust the columns in a trigger, where you have access to both the original and the new value of the columns:
CREATE TRIGGER t BEFORE UPDATE ON mytable
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
IF TRIM(OLD.responseA) != '' THEN
SET NEW.responseB = NEW.responseA;
SET NEW.responseA = OLD.responseA;
END IF;
END
(I have not tested this.)
I am also assuming that your test for '' (empty string) instead of NULL is deliberate, and that you know that NULL is not the same as ''.
The key point in the UPDATE statement is that you should update first the column responseB, so that column responseA retains its original value which can be checked again when you try to update it:
UPDATE myTable
SET responseB = CASE WHEN TRIM(responseA) = '' THEN responseB ELSE 'foo' END,
responseA = CASE WHEN TRIM(responseA) = '' THEN 'foo' ELSE responseA END
WHERE Id = 1;
Basicly this is my mysql query:
select distinct(shipment_tag) from ir_shipment_registry where shipment_id = '2020111'
and the result set:
| shipment_tag |
+--------------+
| Truck |
| Equipment |
| |
How can I concat the two result set into string so that i can assign it to a variable? I tried
SET #purchasetype = (select distinct(shipment_tag) from ir_shipment_registry where shipment_id = '2020111')
but it returns and error says: Subquery returns more than 1 row.
I want something in my variable like : #purchasetype = "Truck, Equipment".
Perhaps use GROUP_CONCAT here:
SET #purchasetype = (SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(shipment_tag SEPARATOR ', ') FROM ir_shipment_registry WHERE shipment_id = '2020111');
I want to delete everything after "x" in the following urls :
i have :
url
/product/dtphdmi230rx?subtype=384
/product/dtphdmi230tx?subtype=385
/product/dtphdmi330rx?subtype=386
/product/dtphdmi330tx?subtype=387
i want :
url
/product/dtphdmi230rx
/product/dtphdmi230tx
/product/dtphdmi330rx
/product/dtphdmi330tx
I know it's easy with mysql 8.0 with regex_replace but i can't update my server. Is there any way with mysql 5 ?
nb : There is always a "?" in urls, it can be the first character to delete.
Thanks for help
Just:
left(url, locate('x?', url))
Demo on DB Fiddle:
with mytable as (
select '/product/dtphdmi230rx?subtype=384' url
union all select '/product/dtphdmi230tx?subtype=385'
union all select '/product/dtphdmi330rx?subtype=386'
union all select '/product/dtphdmi330tx?subtype=387'
)
select left(url, locate('x?', url)) from mytable
| left(url, locate('x?', url)) |
| :--------------------------- |
| /product/dtphdmi230rx |
| /product/dtphdmi230tx |
| /product/dtphdmi330rx |
| /product/dtphdmi330tx |
Note: as commented by Raymond Nijland, if the ? occurs just once in the string and can be used as the first character to remove, you can also do:
left(url, locate('?', url) - 1)
I want to select from a table like this
|id|col_name|col1|col2|col3|col4|col5|...|col100|
| 1|col1 | 142| 241| 333| 417| 713|...| 125|
| 2|col5 | 927| 72| 403| 104| 136|...| 739|
| 3|col100 | 358| 842| 150| 125| 174|...| 103|
Select from column specified by col_name field. Something like
SELECT id,valueof(col_name) val FROM table1
which returns
|id|val|
| 1|142|
| 2|136|
| 3|103|
If you are using PHP (or modify the logic accordingly), you can do something like-
$colNames = array(col1, col5, col100); // or SELECT col_name FROM
table_name and store it in $colNames
foreach ($colNames as $val) {
$query = "SELECT $val FROM table_name WHERE col_name={$val}";
//execute this and store its result one-by-one into another array.
}
as I'm not sure if it could be done with single query.
I recently recoded one of my sites, and the database structure is a little bit different.
I'm trying to convert the following:
*----*----------------------------*
| id | file_name |
*----*----------------------------*
| 1 | 1288044935741310953434.jpg |
*----*----------------------------*
| 2 | 1288044935741310352357.rar |
*----*----------------------------*
Into the following:
*----*----------------------------*
| id | file_name |
*----*----------------------------*
| 1 | 1288044935741310953434 |
*----*----------------------------*
| 2 | 1288044935741310352357 |
*----*----------------------------*
I know that I could do a foreach loop with PHP, and explode the file extension off the end, and update each row that way, but that seems like way too many queries for the task.
Is there any SQL query that I could run that would allow me to remove the file exentision from each field in the file_name column?
You can use the REPLACE() function in native MySQL to do a simple string replacement.
UPDATE tbl SET file_name = REPLACE(file_name, '.jpg', '');
UPDATE tbl SET file_name = REPLACE(file_name, '.rar', '');
This should work:
UPDATE MyTable
SET file_name = SUBSTRING(file_name,1, CHAR_LENGTH(file_name)-4)
This will strip off the final extension, if any, from file_name each time it is run. It is agnostic with respect to extension (so you can have ".foo" some day) and won't harm extensionless records.
UPDATE tbl
SET file_name = TRIM(TRAILING CONCAT('.', SUBSTRING_INDEX(file_name, '.', -1) FROM file_name);
You can use SUBSTRING_INDEX function
SUBSTRING_INDEX(str,delim,count)
Where str is the string, delim is the delimiter (from which you want a substring to the left or right of), and count specifies which delimiter (in the event there are multiple occurrences of the delimiter in the string)
Example:
UPDATE table SET file_name = SUBSTRING_INDEX(file_name , '.' , 1);
